Dearly beloved,
We have gathered here today to honor and celebrate the life of Reen, a loving mother, a kind friend, a pillar of strength and resilience in all our lives. It is with a heavy heart that we bid farewell to someone who has left an indelible impact on each and every one of us. Reen's bright spirit no longer shines in our midst, but we know it shines in the heavens above.
Reen was a person who embodied humility and grace in every aspect of her life. She lived with a quiet confidence, uplifting everyone she encountered. Her love for her children, Eric and Sam, was unmatched, as she devoted her life to nurturing and guiding them into becoming the incredible individuals they are today. She was their rock, always there to support them and never faltering in her unwavering faith in their abilities.

Her friendship was a beacon of light, making all those around her feel seen, heard, and loved. Reen possessed the gift of understanding each person individually, always providing comfort and counsel in times of strife. Her strength and wisdom have left a lasting legacy, not only for her children but also for everyone who has had the privilege of knowing her.
In the face of loss, we are reminded of the words of John 14:1-3, which tells us, "Let not your heart be troubled; believe in God, believe also in me. In my Father's house are many rooms; if it were not so, would I have told you that I go to prepare a place for you? And when I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and will take you to myself, that where I am you may be also."
These words remind us that, although Reen has departed from our physical world, her spirit is now in a place of eternal peace and love. This is a comfort to us as we mourn her passing and remember the happy moments she shared with us here on earth.
Reen's unwavering faith shone through her every interaction with others, a symbol of the inspiring person she was. Let her passing serve as a reminder to each one of us that, despite any difficulties we may face in our lives, we must always look to our faith for guidance, for inner strength, and for solace.
As we gather here today to honor Reen’s legacy, we are encouraged to find solace in the many memories she has left behind. We can play her favorite song, recalling her smile when it filled the room. We can recount the times she made us laugh with her quick wit and infectious spirit. By clinging to these precious memories, Reen’s influence will forever remain in our hearts.
May we continue to carry her dreams, her kindness, and her unyielding love in all that we do. May our lives be a tribute to Reen, for the world has truly lost an exceptional soul, but her beautiful spirit will never be forgotten.
In closing, I wish to share a quote that I believe embodies the essence of Reen: "She was one of the rare ones, so effortlessly herself, and the world loved her for it." Let us honor Reen by living our lives with grace and humility, just as she did. Let us find strength and inspiration in her memory, and let her spirit live on through each of us.
Rest in peace, dear friend. We love you.
